can't do multiple searches on the same file

can't do multiple searches on the same file

[everettjf]

Yes, it may lose focus on the generated file after each filtering.

e.g.
When filtering file foo.log, the 1st filter action generates foo.log.filterling.log.
NOW, if we continue filter on the foo.log.filterling.log, the 2nd result is empty, which is a bug.

BUT, we could fix(skip) the bug by Click the result foo.log.filterling.log.
SO, the order is:

1. 1st filter
2. click the result file in the vscode
3. 2nd filter

I will try to fix it in a few days.

I'm hitting this too, I'd love to be able to change the filter rather than generating a new filterline.log file for every filter. For example I have log files with interleaved output for each thread, and I want to see thread 1, then 2, then 3 and so on quickly re-filtering for each. It's nice to have a separate view so I can also see the original file side by side. But having the filter operation only work once is a show stopper for me.

@lovettchris Thanks for your response. I'm on it.
Is "thread 1, then 2, then 3 and so on" means something like "filterline.log, filterline.1.log, filterline.3.log and so on" ?

[everettjf]

Which one do you prefer?

1. "filterline.log, filterline.1.log, filterline.3.log and so on"
2. repeated filtering on the same file "filterline.log"

[lovettchris]

(2) repeated filtering on the same file, so I can open the original file, filter it, see the results, and repeat, without having to close a bunch of new windows every time...

v1.2.2 published. please update and try.

[NARBEDA]

I doesn't work for me! I still must reopen VS Code for next filtering. Am I doing something wrong?

[everettjf]

HI , @NARBEDA

1. reopen vscode ? or click the result buffer ?
2. Windows or macOS ?

[NARBEDA]

Yes, I've to reopen vscode, to do the next search. I only can do one search! It's on Windows! Are there some special Settings?

[chraac]

v1.2.2 still doesn't work! and here to reproduce:

1. filter with regex
2. close filter result
3. filter with another regex

And it's windows 7 with vscode 1.31.1

[everettjf]

Hi all, I have temporarily fixed the bug on Windows. Please update and retry.
(But still exists a little problem, repeated filter action will produce some temporary files, when you close vscode, these files will auto-removed. I still do not know the reason and will work on it.

[lovettchris]

I have 1.2.8 and still only works once on a given file.

[chraac]

Thanks to reply, and bug still exist in the same routine with 1.2.8

[everettjf]

Hello everyone, now I can say "the bug is fixed" with 1.2.10
PS:

        let writeStream = fs.createWriteStream(outputPath);

The writeStream need to be closed explicity on Windows.

[NARBEDA]

Works perfect! Many thanks!
